I think this thread will be met with a resounding who cares.  Real Minis have been around for about 47 years now.  It's a little late for a 5 year anniversary.

Real mini's with Porsche engines in them?  Where exactly did you see this?

I have seen the ones that gomini does with the vtec swap but never a porsche swap. I guess you might be able to do a 924 or 944 swap into them. I would love to see a link if you have one. One of my neighbors just bought an Austin 7, and it got me thinking aobut how much I would like to have one.  

They may haul @ss but they are a tin-can deathtrap.

Are you kidding me? Have you seen the Italian Job?? After watching that movie, I really wanted one! But then I overheard girls talking about them and calling them, 'cute'.
